Yucca glauca plant water.

The Yucca glauca cactus plant, like all cacti, needs very moderate irrigation, as it tolerates drought for a period of up to 15 days or more, and irrigation should only be done when the soil in which it is planted reaches complete dryness.

The Yucca glauca plant does not like to be irrigated except when the soil surface is dry, at a depth of about 5 cm, then it is done. Water the plant without extravagance at all.

Yucca glauca Fertilizing.

The Yucca glauca plant needs well-decomposed organic fertilization, provided that the soil is stirred well after adding fertilizer.

The Yucca Gluca plant also needs neutral chemical fertilization NPK 10 – 10 – 10. As for spraying the plants every 15 days at a rate of 1 liter per liter of water, provided that the spraying is washing the leaves.

Or it is added to the soil at a rate of 300 gm in two batches, the first batch is during the month of March and the second batch is during the month of August, taking into account the stirring of the soil well after the addition and then conducting very moderate irrigation.

Yucca glauca Light requirements of .

Yucca glauca needs bright light, so it must be planted in sunny places and in the right place.

As the light is very important for the process of photosynthesis in which the plant uses the energy it derives from the light reaching the mechanism in the representation of sulfur dioxide and water to build carbohydrates, from which the rest of the other food components are created.

It is known that plants differ in their light needs, some of them need bright direct light for long periods, and some of them need less light periods.

It has been observed that the extra light reduces the elongation of the internodes, so the plants shorten, their leaves turn yellow, then turn brown, and the leaves may shrink, wither, and then fall off.

While plants exposed to insufficient light increase the elongation of the internodes clearly and become secretive, then the leaves turn yellow, wither and then fall off, and these plants often fail to reach the stage of flowering.

As bright light or direct sunlight is very beneficial for cactus plants, as it is also accompanied by a high temperature.

The intensity of lighting varies according to the directions. The southern side provides plants with direct light accompanied by high temperatures, while the eastern and western sides provide plants with light at certain periods of the day.

The eastern side provides the warm sunny weather in the morning and the cool luminous atmosphere in the afternoon – and vice versa – exactly what happens in the western side.

Therefore, it is very important to choose the right place to grow plants, whether they are planted in permanent land or plants grown in a pot.
